Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic are launching four new Mediterranean itineraries in the summer of 2025 to celebrate National Geographic Orion’s return to the region.
The 53-cabin vessel will host 19 cruises along the Mediterranean coasts next summer. The new itineraries—which range from eight to 11 days—will visit ports in Greece, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey.
Guests will get to hear from researchers and historians, visit UNESCO World Heritage sites, explore nature preserves and participate in cultural heritage customs like sword dancing and oyster farming, to name a few activities.
Lindblad has been leading trips along the Mediterranean coasts for more than 30 years. The long-running partnership with National Geographic means guests can dive even deeper into the local culture, history, flora and fauna.
"A Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic cultural expedition in the Mediterranean is a unique and holistic look at the region unlike any other,” says Trey Byus, Lindblad’s chief expedition officer. “Guests will step away from the crowds and immerse themselves in important mythical, historical and archeologic sites led by brilliant guides—on board and locally—who will provide a window into the region.”
